Santos confirmed that they will meet with the sports director of Inter, during which they will discuss the possibility of returning striker Gabriel Barbosa.

Gabigol moved to Inter from Santos for 29.5 million euros in the summer of 2016, but the Brazilian striker failed to gain a foothold as part of the "Nerazzurri".

Last summer, he joined on loan to Benfica, but also experiences problems in the Portuguese club.

"We plan to hold a meeting with sports director Inter Piero Auzilio next week," - said Santos spokesman Luis Taveira.

"He will watch our match, after which he will meet with our leadership. The parties will discuss many issues. Return of Gabigol? Gabigol is a great player. He really likes me, and he loves Santos, so we definitely will talk about him ".

"If Inter decides to part with him, then we will certainly try to return him. For Gabigol there is always a place ".

In the current season, 21-year-old Brazilian spent four games for Benfica in all tournaments, which scored one goal.
